One hundred years ago, many people believed a woman’s place was in the home. Women were excluded from voting booths, most colleges and universities, and all but a few professions. Now women can be found in the halls of Congress, science labs, athletic fields?even outer space. But they didn’t arrive there overnight.
Stories about heroes are deep and eternal. Joseph Campbell, in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, identified both the archetype of the Hero and the quest that the hero follows, in many of the folk tales and myths of the world. This archetype, and it's journey was surprisingly invariant through many of the tales. Carol Pearson, in Awakening The Heroes Within expands the idea of the Hero into twelve distinct archetypes, each of which can follow the Hero Quest.
